Sentence examples for ancestral task from inspiring English sources

You are right, but why should this ancestral candidate still be around in today's organisms, especially if the tendency was to simplify the old structures and arguably the proteins performing the ancestral task were less efficient?

For this task, ancestral graph models are particularly useful in that they can represent the presence of latent confounding and selection effect, without explicitly invoking unobserved variables.

To evaluate the ancestral network reconstruction task, we use the bZIP family of proteins.

We now describe the performance of the SOPH framework for the three inference tasks—ancestral network reconstruction, missing interaction imputation and determination of relative protein duplication order set forth in Section 1.

This is appropriate for the task of inferring ancestral interactions because we expect the density of such interactions to be relatively low, and because we care most about those inferred ancestral interactions in which we have high confidence.

This complicates the notion of a species tree, which needs to be re-interpreted as a prevailing evolutionary trend, rather than the full depiction of evolution, and makes reconstruction of ancestral genomes a non-trivial task.

Both genes may be altered in such a way that the combined activity of the two genes together fulfills the task of the ancestral gene in a complementary fashion (i.e., subfunctionalization) [ 2, 15].

Our concept assessment contained five questions that addressed key misconceptions commonly held by undergraduate students when interpreting evolutionary trees and two questions that assessed their ability to perform the skill-based tasks of deducing ancestral traits and constructing a basic phylogenetic tree (Baum et al., 2005; Meir et al., 2007).

Hence, how could the ancestral cells fulfill all their metabolic tasks possessing such a restricted enzyme repertoire?

The task of constructing the common ancestral orthologous alignments for sp1 and sp2 is accomplished by obtaining one-to-one mappings in G based on best reciprocal hits.

One popular approach to reconstruct ancestral genome is through direct optimization and the task is to seek the tree with the minimum number of events, which is in spirit similar to the maximum parsimony approach used in sequence phylogeny.
